Carbon Fiber Side Skirts

I am looking for some thoughts on the best carbon fiber side skirt options for an F80 M3.

I am looking for a OEM style look to match the OEM diffuser and front spoiler.

I have looked at so far the following options

RKP
Status Gruppe
Down Force
X-PH

Thoughts? Pictures?

I like the aggressive design a lot!! It looks great on white too.

I have a set of CF OEM-style skirts and I wish now that they were more aggressive. And my passengers still step on them too even though they line up with the OEM mounting points -_-

Thank you and still looking at different options..

The last piece of this puzzle is the rear diffuser with side skirts..

Something like a 3D Design rear diffuser set up with RKP Side skirts?

Or even an option from Mike@x-ph side skirt option with OEM rear diffuser?

I went with RKP in the front and sides and Agency rear diffuser. IMO it's the perfect setup, lines up and matches perfectly.

Save yourself some cash and buy these, most vendors charge more than double for the same cheap product:

Really looks amazing.

How does the CF match from Agency Power to RKP?

Also the thickness of CF from the side skirts to side of the diffuser?

I really think matching the side skirts to the rear diffuser is important to tie the car together...

In all I think the RKP side skirts will win because of the balance of overall design and appearance.

The 3D Design side skirts are amazing and look perfectly matched with their diffusers.

So now on to the rear diffuser to match it up...

3D Design has two options for diffusers which appear will match the RKP side skirts..

Agency Power has a great option..

RW Carbon has one option which mirror the style of 3D and one of their own.

Last RKP has a diffuser is simple and clean to match the side skirts..

Tough....

The thickness is similar except the RKP bits come closer to a sharp edge and the agency is more flat. So the diffuser looks thicker than the side skirts. It's totally one of those things that nobody else would notice but you.

Any thoughts on the 3D design side skirts? Who has them installed on their car?

It appears to be one of the best side skirts options along with RKP.

3D Design side skirts with 3D Design rear diffuser?

Though a bit pricey Dinmann CF skirts give the right amount of aggression. I'm planning to pair it with a PSM Dynamics Rear diffuser to complete the look.

+1 for XPH. Easy install, looks great, no complaints. Can't fathom why anyone feels the need to spend $1k on side skirts
